Feeling the nudge in her side, Alisa finally broke out of her state of shock - partially. She looked to her side, meeting Melody’s eyes, and slowly rose up. When she made her way towards the stage, everyone could see that she was still trembling, and was even asked when receiving her trophy if she would be alright on her own, to which she nodded. She bowed towards the audience - and cameras - and stayed like that for a full minute, trying to calm her mind in the process. Gripping the microphone, the first word out of her mouth was ”What?” She looked towards were the rest of the members were, somewhat seeking some kind of support from them. She was slightly sad about the spotlights right then, because she could barely see further than the stage edge.

”I have no idea what to say,” Alisa eventually spoke, completely forgetting the custom of thanking everyone first, ”I feel like this is a dream, and that I'm going to wake up any moment now... Uhm.. When so many others of my fellow 153rd generation Kenkyuusei were ranked; Masaki-san, Mocchi-san, Nakahara-san, Amaya-san, Mirai-san.. That's a rather large portion of the 153rd generation, and so I thought my chances to rank were physically gone. To be honest, right now, I don't feel all that happy; I'm still too shocked that I stand on this stage, and I kind of feel like whatever I'd say would be inadequate for what I'll feel once this sinks in." She motioned slightly with the trophy. "All I can say is, thank you. Thank you all so much."
